Single Round Handicap Golf
Average Score Calculator

This calculator requires the use of Javascript enabled and capable browsers. This calculator is designed to give a players average single round score, based on golf handicap and the factors that provide that handicap. This is ONLY a method of arriving at an average score. This is based on USGA formulae for handicap calculations as of 2002. (See our standard golf handicap calculator.) In the calculator below, enter your handicap. Also the course rating and the course slope index for the course applicable for the majority of rounds used for that handicap. Click on Calculate and the one round average score will be determined. We also calculate the differential and the USGA approved factored differential used to determine the factored handicap. Any fractional portion is rounded up to the higher previous whole number. If you wish to do the entire calculation again, without the entries you have entered, click on Clear Values. This calculator is for personal information only.

The formula for these calculations is based on the USGA handicap formula; however, since the USGA does not provide a calculation for average score, the methodology devised is our own. The differential is your score less the course factors. The USGA does not endorse this calculator or any other, other than their own. To see the UGSA site information for handicapping, click here.
